His Holiness Chinna Srimannarayana Jeeyar Swamy is seer (ascetic). He has been ordained [chose the holy path] at a very young age when he was in his early 20s. Swamyji succeeded HH Srimannarayana Jeeyar swamy varu [sometimes referred to simply as Jeeyar Swamy varu or Pedda Jeeyar Swamy varu]

Swamyji is a well-wisher of all devotees wherever they may be. There are always demands on his time from various quarters. If adequate number of us join together and request, Swamyji will try to accommodate our request and will try to visit UK to bless us and also inspire us to know more about the message of Vedas and Upanishads to lead a good a virtuous life with an attitude of helping each other. Please keep checking this website for information of any forthcoming visits

The school is within the JIVA campus and there are dedicated staff members working there to provide a good quality education including computer literacy and ICT skills to all the blind children. Any financial help we can provide will help in running the school or buying learning materials and resources and giving scholarships to children from families that cannot afford to spend on education.

Jeeyar Educational Trust has established a number of activities. The various examples include:
(a) Educational activities such as the Vedic schools in Sita Nagaram and JIVA.
(b) School for the visually challenge.
(c) Annadhanam [serving food to one and all] at Badrinath in the lower Himalayas
(d) Medical camps in rural areas in India where health facilities do not exist.
(e) Cancer screening camps for early detection of cancer.
Those interested can donate to any specific activity they wish to sponsor.

The JETUK trust address is 324 Fieldend Road, Ruislip, London, HA4 9PA. However, our activities take place throughout the UK. A number of supporters and volunteers are spread around the country and from time to time they would be organising activities in different locations.

We have volunteer groups who meet once in a few weeks with a view to have discussions to develop better understanding of Hindu epics or Bhagavad Gita. There will also be special events for example, in early January usually, Goda Kalyanam is organised; for Bhishma Ekadasi recently we had organised the chanting of Vishnu Sahasra Nama. We have other activities planned including the organisation of service activities and also retreats especially when Swamyji visits UK.

We are not a religious mission or organisation solely for promoting religion. Our aim is to promote a better understanding of oneself and an attitude of service and respect. With regard to service, Swamyji’s message is to "serve all beings as service to God". With regard to faith, Swamyji emphasises "worship your own, respect all"

If you’re a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid increases the value of your charity donations by allowing charities to reclaim the basic rate of tax on your gift at no extra cost to you. That’s a whopping 25p for every £1 you give.

If you're a UK taxpayer, add Gift Aid whenever you make a donation and the charity can reclaim the basic rate of tax on your gift - that's a whopping 25p for every £1 you give.

Higher rate tax payers can claim additional tax benefits for donations they make to charity, which you can keep or pass on to any charitable organisation. Simply indicate how much you have donated when completing your tax self-assessment form.

To qualify for Gift Aid, you must pay an amount of UK tax (income tax and/or capital gains tax), which is equal to, or more than, the amount we will reclaim in the tax year (currently 25p for every £1 you donate).

Look at papers relating to the monies paid to you. Savings/bank accounts normally deduct tax at source so a bank statement will normally show if tax has been deducted. Individual share dividend certificates also show where tax has been deducted.

If you have a Family membership and your partner pays tax then he/she can tick the Gift Aid box provided that the membership is paid either from your partner’s account or from a jointly held or named account.

BCT can claim Gift Aid retrospectively for up to four years. This means that if you make a declaration today, we can reclaim tax on the eligible subscriptions and donations you have made in the past four years, so long as you have paid enough tax to cover the total amount we are reclaiming. Make a declaration today and allow the support you’ve already given to BCT go even further!

If, for any reason, you decide that your gift should not be included in Gift Aid – perhaps you realise that you will not pay enough tax to cover the tax reclaimed by us – then simply email us on info@jetuk.org and we will amend your record to reflect this.

Completing a Gift Aid declaration does not put you under any obligation to give again – it merely ensures that we can reclaim tax on the donations that you have already made and any you may give in the future, so that your gifts go further at no extra cost to you.

We can only claim back tax at the basic rate, but that is still worth 25% extra on your donations to us, so please provide us with a declaration anyway.

If you pay higher rate tax, you can claim the difference between the higher rate of tax and the basic rate of tax on the total (gross) value of your donation to JET UK. You can make this claim on your Self -assessment tax return if you were sent one. We would suggest speaking to your accountant if you would like to do this.
